Google Contacts

Contacts from your Google account.

Your Google Contacts come into Instasent and stay in sync as you add to them. Useful when the contact book is the customer list — common in local businesses and services where the relationship started as a phone number rather than a checkout.

What it brings in

How you connect it

You authorize Instasent from Google Contacts itself: it opens their window, you sign in and grant the permissions. You never create or copy a key.

  1. 1

    In Instasent, add Google Contacts as a data source.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Google Contacts in the window that opens and grant access.

  3. 3

    Instasent starts importing. The first sync runs on its own.

Once it's connected

Segment by real behaviour

What they bought, when they last bought, what they looked at and never came back to. The segment updates itself as new data arrives.

Send your first campaign

Message a segment directly, with RCS where the phone supports it and SMS everywhere else.

Trigger automations from events

An abandoned cart, a purchase, a form submission — the event arrives and the flow starts.

Ask Iris about it

Iris reads the data these connectors bring in, answers questions about your audience and prepares the campaign. You're the one who sends it.

Consent comes across with the contact

Marketing preferences are carried over with one rule: only an active opt-out becomes a refusal. Somebody who never said anything arrives with no preference set, not as a yes. It's the conservative reading, and it's the one that keeps you compliant.
